The first Chain of Strength release was a
7" EP entitled
True Till Death, released through Revelation Records. After parting ways with Revelation, they formed their own Foundation Records to release another 7",
What Holds Us Apart. Both of these records eventually fell
out of print, yet were still in demand. As a result,
Revelation Records released both EPs (plus one unreleased track) as a CD/LP called
The One Thing That Still Holds True. Both EP's were released in the
UK on First Strike Records, a record label based in Wigan, run from a skate shop called Alans. From 2006-2008, Alex Barreto played bass for the band
Alien Ant Farm. Currently, he is the guitarist of
Excel. ==Members==
